New Business Award as Part of APD 2017
‘Trickstar Business’ is the name of the new €7,500 prize which will be awarded for the first time during Animation Production Day 2017 by the Stuttgart Festival of Animated Film (ITFS). It recognises national or international innovative and groundbreaking business models for projects or companies in the animation industry. This makes the Trickstar Business Award the world’s first animation prize to be explicitly focused on business. The prize is being sponsored by the Stuttgart Region. All projects selected for APD 2017 with innovative financing, distribution, marketing or exploitation of rights can put themselves forward for the Trickstar Business Award.
